I would like to participate. Have an MBR-1000 and am trying to get it to work with the Blackberry Bold on ATT.

I'm also interested in beta testing MBR1000 with the Huawei EC168A modem in Alltel network. Currently the MBR1000 doesn't support the EC168A.

Plugged directly into my laptop, the Huawei EC168 was significantly faster than the Pantech UM175. The latter is supported by the MBR1000, but would really like to stick with the faster EC168.

The MBR1000 & Alltel are replacing a Belkin router on Wildblue, connected by wireless to 2 laptops and by ethernet to 4 desktops. (Typically they are not all accessing the internet simutaneously but quite often 2-3).

We'd like to be part of testing for future Cradlepoint products such as the MBR1200. We're out of the running right now I guess because we're using a KR2 (only for its PCMCIA functionality), but we're interested in helping improve the product for our utility (vehicle mounted, Sprint AC595 cards, with external antennas for expanded radius of coverage from vehicle)

I'd be willing to participate in the beta as well. I've worked in IT networking for more than 20 years, and have been using EVDO, RF packet radios, and satellite for several years now in areas where there aren't other options. Once I found how well the Cradlepoints work, as compared to even the other EVDO products, I'm hooked.

My staff and I travel with CTR350's and CTR500's with several devices including a Novatel EV720 (m6800a), several Pantech UM150's, Moto Q's, and various models of Blackberries. I have one unit at home that usually get's -59db with a signal quality of 31, and another unit that frequently gets used in areas where the signal strength is hardly usable. The only frustrating problem I've experienced is with the CTR500 - some units regularly kick all wifi users off, and the reconnect them every few minutes.

I'd be glad to help if needed.

I would like to participate, I have access to Sierra Wireless 880E, Sierra Wireless 875U, Huawei E180 with my CTR 500. The Sierra Wireless are working fine with 2 out of the 3 carriers here.

I'd also like to be part of the Beta group. I currently have a PHS-300 with a Sprint Sierra Wireless Compass 597.

Thanks,
